Kogan's 46-Inch 'Borderless' LED TV Takes on LG and Samsung

Borderless doesn’t mean bezeless, but $849 is definitely cheaper than competing thin-bezel LED TVs from the big two Koreans. The Full HD set is edge lit, has a 5,000:1 actual contrast ratio, four HDMI inputs, and a 100/120Hz refresh rate. And that’s not all that’s new from Kogan today…

Kogan products have deservedly copped some stick over the last couple of years, but build quality has also gotten better as their buying power has increased. What’s been your experience?

This new TV is one of the better outings I’ve seen from them. In addition to the specs I’ve mentioned, it also has SRS speakers, built in time-shifting functionality, and will playback DivX and AVI files (up to 720p) from a USB drive.

I noticed this on the Kogan site yesterday. first time there and had stumbled across the Kogan Soundbar. This TV does look impressive for the money, and it's design is very, very similar to the new Samsung range, even down to the logo placement and design. Makes me wonder if it's actually a rebadged Sammy with lower specs.

Also, anyone worried about the build quality of this shoul also note that the build quality of the current Samsungs, e.g. the very similarly styled D6000 and D7000 range, is also not that great (my 7000 flexed like crazy when we took it out of the box). Picture quality and thin design is amazing though.
